Where are your papers! I detect a lawsuit in the near future and our tax dollars funding his education when he wins that suit.

Like I said in another post, There is more to the story. Just one sided. There are a lot of unanswered questions. One I can think of, Are the documents real? How can one brother be legal and the other illegal?

MSgt (Join to see) It seems the documents were verified as real along with a contemporary announcement in the paper when it happened. As far as how one brother is a citizen and the other isn't, the mother isn't (wasn't?) a citizen at the time and one son was born in the US and the other son was born elsewhere. Instant citizenship for the son born in the US.

I have been stopped by CBP and normally chat or hand my mil ID card. If he was acting as a jerk... Somehow, I think CBP would not let this happen unless this guy was wanting to get locked up. I wonder if he refused to give ID and playing games.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint Article says he gave him the only id he had. I suspect it is more likely because he's hispanic. Somehow I doubt border agents really spend too much time questioning if your or I belong or came over the border illegally when we go through these checkpoints.

SPC Kevin Ford - Just too add, I don't feel it's that much of a problem that border control agents picked a citizen up for clarification on their id status (a bit of a problem, but not the big problem). Where I think they went off the rails was holding that person for three weeks without access to a phone, legal council, etc. All of his due process rights were trampled on and it turns out he is a citizen. Opps. Doesn't matter if he was a jerk, complete a-hole, etc.
